'It's difficult for them to lose games' - Benitez backs 'consistent' Liverpool to win long-awaited Premier League title

The Merseysiders have dominated the division so far this season and their former manager is sure they will end the campaign with the trophy

Former Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez has backed his old club to end their long wait for a title and lift the Premier League this season.

Jurgen Klopp’s side have been a dominant force in the division so far, winning 15 out of their first 16 games to amass an eight-point lead at the top of the table

That comes after they pushed Manchester City all the way in the title race last campaign, eventually finishing runners-up on 97 points – the highest total in English top-flight history for a team finishing second.
